Haven't really used a mocha pot before, so I'm experimenting a little to find the right grind settings and ratios for my taste. Normally brew espresso on a flair classic. Went with this more modern design from bialetti because it also works on induction stoves.

I have this same one! I love it! So much easier to get a good cup of coffee out of it than the aluminum one I had

Awesome, I haven't tried the aluminium ones so I can't compare, but this one definitely seems to be very solid and easy to work with. I personally also like this design more.

What does a recipe look like for you?

I'll have to sit with my partner and remember what it is I do with the Moka pot. I mostly do aeropresses

I’ve only used a steel moka pot. How is it easier than one made of aluminium?

I have no explanation. All I know is I get consistently better coffee from it. Maybe it's a thermal mass thing?

I have also found that leaks in the little funnel that holds the coffee can ruin the brew.
